The rewrite lands where the cursor is.
Select text anywhere, hold the left Control key, and say what you want done to it. The result replaces the selection in place.
One gesture,
four beats.
A selection and a held key. This is the smallest version of the idea the rest of Attyn is built on, which is why it had to be right first.
Select
Highlight what you want changed, in whatever app holds your cursor.
Hold
Hold the left Control key. It is the only shortcut this binds.
Speak
Say what you want done, the way you would ask a colleague.
Release
The result replaces the selection, and your clipboard is restored.
What you
can ask for.
Anything you would ask a person to do to a paragraph. There is no command list, because the instruction is the sentence you would have said anyway.
Rewrite
Tighten a paragraph, soften a reply, finish a rough note.
Restructure
A wall of text into bullets, or fragments into a paragraph.
Translate
Think in your own language, send it in clear English.
Correct
Grammar, tense, and tone, without changing what you meant.
Adapt
The same intent, shaped for a message, an email, or a document.
Extend
A fragment and a direction, back as the sentence you wanted.
How it
actually lands.
The mechanism is the product. This is not a floating window that pastes for you. It writes into the field your cursor is in.
The insertion path
Written through the macOS accessibility APIs into the field that owns the cursor. No Attyn window in the way.
The model
Whichever provider the workspace is set to, including a local one.
The context
The selection is what gets sent. The workspace persona shapes the reply.
The clipboard
Whatever you had copied is put back, so a rewrite costs you nothing.
And what it
does not do.
The limits are part of the specification. Anything that writes into every app you use should be precise about its reach.
It acts on the selection
It does not watch your screen. The selection is the whole input.
It does not send anything
The rewrite lands in the field. Send and publish stay yours.
It is one shortcut
Nothing else in Attyn is bound to that gesture.
